Race Day is soon upon us. This weekend offers a great time to get out on the loop and see how you fare running with others. Remember, this race is a toughy, and even with an aid station out on the course (@ 7 miles) you are going to be facing one of the longest…
Off to South Wales (land of nervous sheep) last weekend for the Brecon Beacons 19 mile, 4500' fell race. Shades of "Feet in the Clouds" on the high bits chasing people who I assumed knew where they were going across open bogs/moorland in wind, rain and zero visibility. Spectacular descent where many scooted down on…

Continuing in my series of training runs for the UTMB, last weekend saw a change of venue as I headed down south ("dan saf" as they say here) via riot torn London to visit in-laws in Portsmouth and take part in the local Salisbury 5-4-3-2-1 trail run. The name derives from the fact that this…

After relentless trudging around the UK Lakes, I decided to take advantage of a very wet Thursday to take the train down to the nearly-as-beautiful Derbyshire Peak District; an area close to where I grew up and with very fond memories of camping and hiking going back some 48 years! I got to meet up…
Went back up to the Lake District last weekend to have a crack at the Lakeland 50 miler, the little sister to the Lakeland 100, these beinng collectively known as the "Ultra Tour de Lake District". Tried this last year but had back problems – walked the 2nd leg and only got going again after…

The goal is far beyond the horizon, the task is before us. The Ultra season is suddenly upon us. We are finally looking at some longer competitive races. Jeff Huff has roused himself out of his ‘other world’ and come forth like Punxsutawney Phil, to once again act as…

HURT enjoys the privilege of partnerships with State and Federal agencies that hold the responsibility of protecting Oʻahu public lands. Those partnerships are based upon mutual trust and cooperation and shared concerns for the ʻaina. To keep that trust and continue to be provided the opportunity to host trail events, we (HURT) must understand and abide by rules that govern our partner agencies.
HURT does organize and facilitate official trail maintenance only when coordination with our partners has occurred. All trail work is performed under the supervision of a permitted individual with advance permissions. Some trails are off-limits for HURT to perform trail maintenance due to the sensitive flora. No HURT trail maintenance will occur outside of these parameters.
HURT and its partner agencies require that no self-directed trail maintenance occur on publicly-owned trails. Any individuals performing trail work outside of official HURT-organized events, are doing so on their own accord and will be held personally responsible by State and Federal agencies for any violations. Such activity could jeopardize our relationships with partner agencies and lead to inability to use public lands for our events.
